Indeed it reveals your humility and the invitation of God for us to open our lives. Thanks so much.David ParkTue, 24 Oct 2006 17:24:35 -0000http://www.djchuang.com/2006/the-quotable-chuang/#comment-2185606The best sermons are often those we don't think are that good. I guess God does that to keep us humbleelderjSun, 15 Oct 2006 15:46:00 -0000http://www.djchuang.com/2006/the-quotable-chuang/#comment-2185605L.L., I felt more nervous as I went on, and was glad to finish, and was glad to hear good feedback from more than a handful of people. They didn't notice my nervousness, and I certainly didn't apologize up front or call attention to it. (Though, I am blogging about it after the fact.) What I'm kind of trying to figure out, deconstruct my feelings, and processing out loud, is that while public speaking is something that I can do okay, I wish I could have better feelings about doing it more often. Right now, it seems to be a 50/50 hit-or-miss kind of thing with my feelings about public speaking or preaching or teaching, even when I'm equally prepared.djchuangThu, 12 Oct 2006 22:32:15 -0000http://www.djchuang.com/2006/the-quotable-chuang/#comment-2185604Oh boy... for tulip bulbs? Too funny!! I'd love to hear his thoughts regarding my compost pile...<br><br>About your sermon and how you didn't feel like delivering it... funny, isn't it? ... after speaking so much at this point, I realize that sometimes I really am no more than the messenger... I've taken nothing for myself from the talk, but others are pulling at it in fistfuls... this is always humbling, because I discover that my satisfaction matters less than God's secret works...L.L.
